Median A median may be considered to be a long pedestrian refuge island that is raised and located near the center portion of the street. Medians provide a refuge for pedestrians and bicyclists who cross a street mid-block or at intersections. Adding medians to existing streets may require reducing lane widths, the number of lanes, and/or removing on-street parking. Medians can be designed with turning pockets at intersections or at restricted locations. Typically, safety is enhanced due to a reduction in vehicle speed and an increase in separation between opposing directions of traffic and a reduction in points of conflict where turns are allowed. Medians provide a signature landscape opportunity and can increase community pride and sense of place. Estimated cost: $15,000-$30,000 or more per 100 feet (priced on lineal foot). Used for
